Product details
Overview
HTSICC5601EW/C7:00 from NXP Semiconductors is a contactless identification transponder IC in the HITAG S family, designed for passive RFID applications operating at 100–150 kHz. It integrates a 210 pF resonance capacitor (±5%), supports 256-bit EEPROM memory, delivers 10-year data retention and 100,000 write/erase cycles, and enables secure authentication via 48-bit secret key encryption - deployed in animal ID tags and laundry automation systems.
For engineers reviewing the HTSICC5601EW/C7:00 datasheet, HTSICC5601EW/C7:00 pinout, HTSICC5601EW/C7:00 application, or HTSICC5601EW/C7:00 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, memory organization details, ISO 11784/85 compliance status, transponder talks first (TTF) mode behavior, and wafer-level delivery specifications for die integration into MOA4 modules or custom antenna substrates.
Technical Context
The HTSICC5601EW/C7:00 operates without external power, deriving energy and clock from inductive coupling with a read/write device (RWD) via its integrated resonant circuit. Its analog RF interface includes rectification, voltage regulation, ASK demodulation (RWD→transponder), and strong ASK modulation (transponder→RWD) with Manchester and Bi-phase coding support.
It implements a fast anticollision protocol enabling inventory of 100 tags in 3.2 seconds, supports both Plain Mode and Authentication Mode with configurable Transponder Talks First (TTF), and uses a 32-bit UID plus 48-bit encrypted challenge-response security architecture compliant with ISO 11784/85 and targeted for ISO 14223 and ISO 18000-2.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar contactless transponder IC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| HTSICH5601EW/V7 | Au-bumped (not megabumped) die on same sawn wafer; identical 256-bit memory and electrical specs. | Same animal ID and laundry use cases; differs only in bumping process - affects wire bonding compatibility and thermal cycling robustness. | Select HTSICH5601EW/V7 for standard gold wire bonding; choose HTSICC5601EW/C7:00 for flip-chip assembly requiring higher bump density and mechanical stability. |
| HTSH5601ETK | HVSON2 packaged version (SOT899-1); 2-terminal, 3×2×0.85 mm body; same 256-bit memory and protocol stack. | Used where discrete packaged ICs are preferred over bare die - e.g., PCB-mounted reader test fixtures or module prototyping. | HTSH5601ETK avoids die attach and wire bonding but adds 0.85 mm height and requires PCB footprint; HTSICC5601EW/C7:00 targets ultra-thin embedded tags. |
Compared with HTSICH5601EW/V7 and HTSH5601ETK, HTSICC5601EW/C7:00 offers superior mechanical reliability for high-volume automated die placement and flip-chip integration into flexible antenna substrates, while retaining identical memory, security, and RF performance - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, high-yield tag manufacturing.

FAQ
What is the primary function of HTSICC5601EW/C7:00 in an RFID system?
The HTSICC5601EW/C7:00 serves as a passive contactless transponder IC that derives power and clock from an inductive magnetic field, stores 256-bit data in EEPROM, and communicates bidirectionally with a read/write device using ASK modulation and Manchester coding. HTSICC5601EW/C7:00 operates without batteries and is engineered for integration into ISO 11784/85-compliant animal tags and industrial asset tracking labels.
Does HTSICC5601EW/C7:00 require an external capacitor for resonance tuning?
No, HTSICC5601EW/C7:00 integrates a factory-trimmed 210 pF resonance capacitor (±5%) between its IN1 and IN2 terminals, eliminating the need for external capacitors in the LC tank circuit. This simplifies antenna design and improves manufacturing yield for high-volume RFID tag production using HTSICC5601EW/C7:00.
How does HTSICC5601EW/C7:00 support secure authentication?
HTSICC5601EW/C7:00 implements a 48-bit secret key-based encrypted authentication protocol involving a 32-bit random number (RND) exchange and secret data stream validation. Upon successful CHALLENGE response, the transponder enters Selected State, enabling protected memory access - all while maintaining full backward compatibility with HITAG 1 infrastructure.
What memory organization does HTSICC5601EW/C7:00 use, and how is it accessed?
HTSICC5601EW/C7:00 organizes its 256-bit EEPROM into 64 pages of 4 bytes each (32 bits/page), with Page 0 storing the 32-bit UID and Page 1 containing configuration bytes. Access occurs via READ PAGE or WRITE PAGE commands using 8-bit page address (PADR), with CRC-8 protection for all transactions - ensuring data integrity in noisy industrial environments.
Is HTSICC5601EW/C7:00 compatible with existing HITAG 1 reader infrastructure?
Yes, HTSICC5601EW/C7:00 maintains full protocol compatibility with HITAG 1 readers, including identical command structure, anticollision algorithm, and ASK modulation scheme. This allows seamless upgrade of legacy animal ID or logistics systems to HITAG S performance - longer range, faster throughput, and enhanced security - without replacing installed RWD hardware.
